Roxy Especial: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

For a long time I've wanted I've wanted to write a song that celebrates the alcoholic beverage. Hell, I wanted to write an old-fashioned drinking song! I wanted it to be tongue-in-cheek, dysfunctionally celebratory, with a touch of Mariachi/Latin flavor. Make sure you listen to the entire end of the song...after you think it's over you can hear the group vocal (without any music) that was recorded live at one of my Cinco de Mayo shows - it was so fun to do!

When trouble knocks at my door
When the lightening strikes and the thunder roars
I know what I must do, what works for me and you….

Give me drinks
Give me gin, give me vodka
Give me some wine
Bourbon will fill every need
every time
You’ll be my barkeep, and you’ll keep me fine

People say it’s wrong and it won’t last long
But, if you pour it tall right at the last call
I can sip it slow
And put it in a cup to go

Give me drinks
Give me gin, give me vodka
Give me some wine
Bourbon will fill every need
every time
You’ll be my barkeep, and you’ll keep me fine

Put your troubles on ice, and they’ll taste nice
Manana we might pay, but it’s so far away
We won’t over-think it, we’ll tip one back and drink it

Give me drinks
Give me gin, give me vodka
Give me some wine
Bourbon will fill every need
every time
You’ll be my barkeep, and you’ll keep me fine

My moonshine
My moonshine
And don't forget my tequila!!!

Give me drinks
Give me gin, give me vodka
Give me some wine
Bourbon will fill every need
every time
You’ll be my barkeep, and you’ll keep me fine
Reprise:
Give me drinks
Give me gin, give me vodka
Give me some wine
Bourbon will fill every need
every time
You’ll be my barkeep, and you’ll keep me fine
